Idk what you're complaining about all you have to do is get on the highway and drive faster than 100km/hr and the Hunter would quickly be lost. Back to the post, honestly the cop slot is stupid imo. Yes you may have 18 cops online but first off the rebels make the decision 90% of the time to take a fight to the cops so the whole "Wahhh 4 rebels to 18 cops at a bank" shit is stupid you decided to take that fight. Most of the time, before I un-installed the game, I wanted to play cop i'd load up the game look and see if there was a cop slot for like 5 minutes get bored because they were all full and just close the game not to mention there are people who HAVE to play to keep their rank... it's just stupid.

Cop is as much if not more of a money sink for staff members then rebels going to the rebel outposts. I've generally held that staff members end up with a large money sink, but I've also assumed parts of that are their own fault. There is no reason to pull expensive gear when cruising around the island and walking around Pyrgos square. It's unnecessary. As a poor analogy, when I'm on cop you don't see me buying an MX every life like I see higher ups pulling out larger weapons or Coveralls. I buy an MX when I know there are are rebels nearby, or if I'm responding to a bank/ fed. And I don't pull one out if there are higher ups or other people with MXs on. Generally when I buy an MX, I don't behave as though I have a spar. I behave much more similarly to a civ, staying at a medium range and sniping without getting sniped. Unless you're pulling a Rodrigo and sniping from Telos for the duration of the Fed, there is no reason for ANY cop to get a better weapon. It's so close range that the Spar handles it just fine, especially with the proximity with which you can respawn and return. And yet, I see full loadouts at feds all the time. So while I agree higher-ups do have a money sink, I imagine that can at least be partially mitigated by conscientiousness. Your average constable on the other hand has basically no excuse - free loadouts. Edited December 11, 2019 by pr0digyt bigjohn561 and Stratego like this Link to comment

Staff are required to perform the day to day operations of the APD (interviews, apps, disciplinary action) to keep rank. We do not get paid with the only exception being for the completion of trainings which meet the requirements to be paid. I don't know what you mean by free money if you imply that people pay for ranks. I have to pay the same as a civilian for an Orca that has a higher probability of being shot down then do rebels. 2 hours ago, pr0digyt said: I've generally held that staff members end up with a large money sink, but I've also assumed parts of that are their own fault.

So while I agree higher-ups do have a money sink, I imagine that can at least be partially mitigated by conscientiousness. Your average constable on the other hand has basically no excuse - free loadouts. In average patrol we cannot store our gear in a house/locker to pull out at a later date. If we get the gear for a bank and no longer need it you have to patrol with it or pay for a less expensive loadout losing money on the last. As a Lieutenant it is completely expected to have a 7.62 this is not deniable. With the APD having limited ways of dealing with orcas, heavy weaponed vehicles, and ifrits; it is almost required that Lieutenants get Mks. To protect that investment into a weapon I want to have good armor which means paying for PCs in many ways.That adds up quick. On top of that both rebels and cops make the complaint that "why don't higher-ups pull armor?" Answer is simple and two part for me. The first it is expensive to use that equipment. Second it is much harder to get that equipment back when it inevitably ends up in the hands of rebels. I say this as everyone is aware that it is much easier to shoot out a person from armor with a 7.62 then say a 6.5 or 5.56. I say all this as many have no idea how expensive it has now become to use the equipment of the APD at the highest levels with Rebel gear getting a price decrease recently. Link to comment

Rest is rebels. How many is kavala or athira ratting? How many is mining diamonds? How many is in a real gang? WHO DOESNT look at the amount of cops before doing a event? How many times do i hear, hey guys wanna do a bank? Nvm it will be a 4 v 12. And of course ADMINS would say i want more to shoot at. Admins not paying for the gear lol. Admins are NEVER trying to escape with the payout. Admins can care less if they win or lose. In fact a CAPTAIN complained about fighting against the "free ifirit" lol. Unless ur fighting against a rich group (that made their money before v2) ur normally not going to see much armour at a event. Yall seem to think admins have nothing to lose, i've played with countless admins who don't pull free ifrits and buy 20 grenades and suicide vests and shit because they were told if they didn't play like this before with their money they made, don't do it with there admin money. Plus, the admins are the ones being looked at by everyone, of course they have to show a good example, 95% of a time the admin gets caught he roleplays his charges or gets sent straight to jail because the cops have already lost enough so they deserve money. Its not a big deal unless the admin is a piece of shit and we only have 2 of those Link to comment

No cap means it becomes a 8 rebels against 20+ cops. Everyone knows when u start a event more cops log in when they see people moving in the channels. The events are already rare as it is (Real ones) . u remove cap it will be rare again. The current gangs that are around right now will be lucky to get 8 people online and skilled enough to fight these events. Higher ups complained that they are not able to log in and help out the fight? Ok? So they lose the fight This time. Alot of times a event is only started if certain cops are online. Ive seen a event get started and then 4 admins pop in channel just to fight. Now the 8 rebels are fighting against 12+ and 4+ are 7.62 which are most likely going to sit out and snipe ya. dudes retarded but i agree with him here Good Lub and Twinkie like this Link to comment

Cannot attest to the total number of scenarios which all higher-ups use armor both the strider/hunter as well as the orcas. I do know that it is a direct cost of the higher-up to lose that armored vehicle or helicopter and no one else. The point I am making here is that it is very expensive for higher-ups to afford to fight with all the equipment they have access to as the same level of payment is sent to a constable with low cost loadouts following a fight.

King Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Sever is always 115/115 anyways. It would be hard to log more cops in when an event starts as it is. Keeping or removing it does virtually nothing Link to comment

If you were a person who wanted to experiment with eating foods other than meat (vegetarian), it is inevitable that you get asked: "why don't you eat meat?" The correct answer of course is, "none of your business, go fuck yourself." This is in contrast to, "You're right, allow me to change my behaviour to conform with your expectations despite the obvious deficits I will run by doing so". And yes, it is a fallacious argument known as an appeal to tradition.

We also had 4 servers for years, If you look at the data theirs a direct correlation with cop cap and the rise in our population. What was happening was 25 civs would be on and 15 cops would choke them out making them rage quit. Cant have cops without civs. Link to comment
